The Rule does not state that no more than 1 person, from an IP can play. It just restricted the Mining/Transporting together part.
The mining part comes with a Trade Ship turning up at a Mining Field, and a few seconds later the Miner turns up, fills the Trade Ship and then logs off until the next time the Trade ship turns up. Very suspicious.
With Trade Ships, if both Ships are flying independently of each other, then it would suggest that it is 2 seperate people flying the Ships. As soon as they fly in formation, halt after a Jump Gate, whilst they one at a time form up on the lead ship or only 1 Ship responds to a hail, then it becomes very suspicious and generally leads to a Violation Report appearing in front of us.
By use of the Rule we are trying to mitigate these incidents and, hopefully, reduce the amount of VRs that we get.
Supposedly, we are all fairly intelligent people and can 'see' the inherent problem. If they use a modicum of sense, they can see the Admins will not be jumping on people if a Trader has an escort or 2 fighting Ships are patrolling an area, as it is very unlikely that this is being done by 1 person.
If, some how, 1 person can fight with 2 Ships at the same time, then 'hats off to him' as I have difficulty fighting with one Ship.
'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person
